What quarterbacks can teach you about making the tough calls faster
The NFL preseason just kicked off. For players, coaches, and fans, this is the season of anticipation. Every team is running drills, testing strategies, and figuring out who’s ready to shine when the real games begin.
But here’s the thing — when the whistle blows and the ball is snapped, there’s no more time to tinker.
An NFL quarterback has 2.3 seconds from the moment the ball hits his hands to:
— Read the defense
— Predict where every receiver will be
— See who is open (and which defender might pounce), and
— Make the throw
Two-point-three seconds. That’s it.
Now think about that big decision you keep putting off. You’ve gathered the facts. You’ve studied the options. You’ve had more than enough time. And you know what you have to do.
But unlike a quarterback, you keep delaying.
Here’s what they know that you might be forgetting:
The faster you decide, the faster you move forward. Waiting doesn’t make the choice easier. It only keeps you stuck, burning energy you could be using to execute.
Waiting is exhausting and acting brings relief.
So take the shot. Make the call. Move.
Clarity doesn’t come before the decision — it comes from the decision.
